Elvis & The Imposters play Atlanta, GA, on November 5, 2019

[Man out of Time]

The JustTrust US Tour rolls into Atlanta to the Coca-Cola Roxy on Tuesday November 5, 2019. As good a reason as any to play "Brilliant Mistake".

According to the venue website:

"The Coca-Cola Roxy, Atlanta's brand new concert venue, opened in April of 2017. The 3,600 capacity venue is located in The Battery Atlanta, a mixed-use development next to SunTrust Park, home of The Atlanta Braves. It is conveniently located near the intersection of interstates 75 and 285.

The legendary Coca-Cola Roxy Theatre was originally located in the heart of Buckhead and was one of the Southeast's premier music venues before closing in 2008.

The new two-tiered intimate venue has a flexible configuration including a general admission floor, theatre-style seating and permanent seating in the balcony. The 53,000 square foot site has state of the art sound, lights and production capabilities for live music, corporate meetings and private events. Coca-Cola Roxy hosts approximately 40 shows per year and presents a diverse range of local, national and international artists and bands"

Previously on visits to Atlanta, Elvis and the Imposters have played Chastain Park, the Cobb Energy Centre or The Tabernacle.

The Battery Atlanta has a website which includes this artist info. See if you can spot the (not-so) deliberate mistake...

November 5 Time: 8:00 pm - 11:30 pm

ARTIST INFO
New Elvis Costello & The Imposters Dates Come This Fall as "Costello and his bandmates are still at the very top of their game."

Elvis Costello & The Imposters will return to the U.S. for a dozen East Coast and Midwest shows this fall on the "Imperial Bedroom & Other Chambers” tour.

Costello will frame selections from 1982’s "Imperial Bedroom” album with "the songs that led in and out of that velvet-trimmed playhouse.”

Asked to elaborate on the show, Costello added, "You must have known by now that we wouldn't play this kind of show by anyone else's rules. You'll hear all the songs that fit the bill; hits and headlines, waifs and strays. In the words of the great Eric Morecambe, ‘I am playing all the right notes but not necessarily in the right order.’"

Elvis Costello & The Imposters are just finishing a UK tour that’s getting raves with the paper in Costello’s hometown Liverpool writing, "Over a mammoth two-and-a-half-hour set, this tight, well-drilled unit took us on a breathless journey through Costello’s prolific recording career. The levels of energy and musicianship on display were remarkable, as the band tore through around 30 songs.”

The Imposters’ last U.S. performance came in April during a “thrashing” and “soaring” (The Times-Picayune) headlining set at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.

This new tour begins less than a week after the end of Costello’s critically acclaimed solo “Detour” performances, which the LA Times hailed as “disarmingly revealing” and “uproariously funny.”

Since 2002, Elvis Costello has toured and recorded extensively with his band The Imposters, featuring bassist Davey Faragher along with original Attractions members, drummer Pete Thomas and keyboardist Steve Nieve. "

Apparently, you cannot get the staff these days.

Concert review and photos: Elvis Costello and The Imposters delight fans with magical, musical history tour in Atlanta

The last time Elvis Costello visited Atlanta three years ago, he arrived armed with only a lineup of guitars as he stormed through a solo set.

On Tuesday, the timeless Costello returned with The Imposters, his post-Attractions backup band since the mid-‘90s featuring longtimers Pete Thomas on drums, Steve Nieve on keyboards and, since 2001, former Cracker bassist Davey Faragher.

That Costello’s mates have shared his rich history for decades is an extreme benefit for this tour, dubbed “Just Trust.” It was a promise the delightfully quirky Englishman kept at the Coca-Cola Roxy as he and the band – along with fabulous backup singers Kitten Kuroi and Briana Lee – zigzagged from deep cuts to casual fan favorites in a fulfilling 24-song setlist.

Most of Costello’s shows so far on this tour - which kicked off in late October and will roll through the end of November - have offered a sweeping song selection, with a few core tunes surrounded by a shuffled deck of musical memories.

Shortly after the opening twofer of 1981’s “Strict Time” and “Clubland,” accented with bright animations on three video panels behind the stage, Costello reminisced about the first time he and the Attractions came to the U.S., played Atlanta’s Capitol Theatre and experienced the Howard Johnson hotel.

It’s been a fulfilling career for the 65-year-old, and after enduring a bout with cancer in summer 2018, it’s apparent that he’s relishing his stage time and interaction with fans.

In his dark suit and red tie, hat brim nearly covering his tinted glasses, Costello slashed at his Fender guitar and stayed close to the mic, that patented, slightly nasal tone that is the hallmark of his sound in mostly sturdy form. Yes, there were a few warbled notes throughout the show, but when you’ve created “Everyday I Write the Book” in 10 minutes, you’re afforded some slack.

Costello proffered a couple of outstanding vocal moments as well – an uncorked long note at the end of “Watch Your Step” and a walloping run through Sam & Dave’s “I Can’t Stand Up for Falling Down,” on which he played piano and was joined by Kuroi and Lee as he took the nearly sold-out crowd to church.

In between were the four-on-the-floor “Mr. & Mrs. Hush,” from Costello and the Imposters’ most recent album, 2018’s “Look Now,” and the rollicking “Monkey to Man,” which featured one of the more amusing video accompaniments of the show.

In an interview with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution in 2016, Costello discussed the Broadway musical he’s been workshopping, “A Face in the Crowd.” A couple of tunes from the production appear regularly in his live sets, and the “catchy campaign song” titled “Blood & Hot Sauce” earned a rapturous ovation from the audience.

The sardonic, politically soaked tune escalated from a piano ditty to a full-powered hand-clapper and its clever lyrics are pure Costello. He also performed the more sedate, organ-backed title track.

Costello returned to his guitar and the Imposters accelerated the pace for a spate of poppier work including “Radio Radio,” played under a spray of yellow lights, “From a Whisper to a Scream” and “High Fidelity.”

For those worried about not hearing the beloved “Alison” or the throbbing “Pump it Up,” Costello and Co. obliged.

It’s unlikely that any remaining shows on the tour will mimic Atlanta’s presentation, but Costello was correct – just trust him.

For those that do not post there, at setlist.fm, when you type the first letters of a song, it offers up choices. Maybe, just maybe, last night's entry offered GOOD RIDDANCE as GREEN SHIRT was being attempted. And then, an inadvertent accidental movement will enter it. I should have known it was not a likely tune played last night.

After being treated to "Getting Mighty Crowded," I'd be satisfied for the evening.
